This appears to be: libelf/elf.h:#define R_SPARC_LM22 36 /* Low middle 22 bits of ... */ It doesn't occur when patched into the kernel build, since the relocations are handled at link time as opposed to load time. arch/sparc/kernel/module.c needs to be patched to support the new relocation type... Based on binutils/gas/config/tc-sparc.c and gold's sparc config this looks to be the same as the hi22 reloc... Can you test the following patch? regards, Kyle --- diff --git a/arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h b/arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h index e678803..8bf59f1 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h +++ b/arch/sparc/include/asm/elf_64.h @@ -52,6 +52,7 @@ #define R_SPARC_11 31 #define R_SPARC_64 32 #define R_SPARC_OLO10 33 +#define R_SPARC_LM22 36 #define R_SPARC_WDISP16 40 #define R_SPARC_WDISP19 41 #define R_SPARC_7 43 diff --git a/arch/sparc/kernel/module.c b/arch/sparc/kernel/module.c index f848aad..49b1b21 100644 --- a/arch/sparc/kernel/module.c +++ b/arch/sparc/kernel/module.c @@ -207,6 +207,7 @@ int apply_relocate_add(Elf_Shdr *sechdrs, *loc32 = (*loc32 & ~0x3ff) | (v & 0x3ff); break; + case R_SPARC_LM22: case R_SPARC_HI22: *loc32 = (*loc32 & ~0x3fffff) | ((v >> 10) & 0x3fffff); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
